I wonder how people find it very easy to hurt people that genuinely trust and show them love, even if you had intentions to hurt them, the fact that they can be vulnerable with you, should be able to melt every hate you feel for them, but NO! Jamils uncle has decided to be a villain. I can't wait to see how the drama unfolds, I can't wait to read the part where thunder finally fires him, because I refuse to be saddled with this kind of inlaw o

CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE

JAMIL

I had been discharged from the hospital but hadn't resumed going to the office yet, I was working from home. My attraction had been cooking and bringing over to me. Sometimes she spent the night while sometimes she left in the evening. I had thrown Bella's or should i say Rofiat's things away. The doorbell rang. I looked up from my laptop and half screamed "come in". I already knew it was my attraction because she had called me earlier.



"Hey" she smiled entering the house.



"I have told you to always enter the house straight up. You don't need to knock" I chuckled.



"I was taught to always knock on doors that do not belong to me" she replied.



"This is also your house, you don't need to knock" I chipped in then looked at the bag she held. "What did you bring?" I asked.



"Abacha (African Salad)" she replied swiftly.



"Abacha?" I asked. I hadn't eaten Abacha before so i wondered what it would taste like.



"Yes Abacha. Don't worry you will like it" she assured before entering the kitchen. I went and sat at the dinning waiting for the meal. She entered the dining with a tray, dropped it on the table and pushed a plate towards me and kept the other one for herself. She went to get water and i picked up a spoon to eat. There was fried fish and canda nicely decorated on the Abacha and there was another thing i didn't know. I waited for her to settle down before asking her questions.



"What is this?" I pointed at the black thing i had seen earlier.



"Oh that is ugba" she replied like she expected me to know what it was. "Oil Bean in English" she chuckled when she saw the confusion on my face. I nodded and scooped a spoonful of Abacha and threw it into my mouth. I munched it slowly trying to savour every taste.



"Oh my God" I moaned out loud pushing another spoonful into my mouth. It was delicious that i wondered how Igbos had such delicious foods.



"I told you you would like it" she winked.



"You Igbos really have delicious foods" I muttered. She chuckled in response.



"Abacha is really nutritional. It has the basic classes of food. Since you are recovering, you need it" she explained.



"I won't even mind eating this everyday. What are you not saying?" I giggled with food in my mouth.



"Edo Man" she laughed. After a few minutes, we were done eating with me asking for more and more plate. She took the dishes to the kitchen to wash while i returned to my laptop. She joined me in the living room a while after. I closed my laptop and touched the pocket of my trouser to be sure the ring was still there.



"Babe" I called.



"Mmmm?" She answered giving me a side glance.



"Let's get married" I revealed.



"Married kwa? Isn't it too early?" She asked.



"No it's not. I love you and you feel the same way too. I don't want to waste time before someone else takes you away from me" I explained.



"Okay. If you think it's not too early let's get married then." She smiled. I hurriedly brought out the ring and knelt on one knee.



"Wait. You already bought a ring?" She chuckled



"I have been carrying it around everyday hoping to pop the question but my morale always failed me" I laughed.



"Oya ask me the question fast before i change my mind" she cackled.



"Babe. The love of my life. Will you marry me? I'm not too good with words but you know i love you and want to be with you forever" I said.



"Yes i will marry you Edo Man" she nodded thrusting her hand to me. I looked at her fingers and wondered the particular finger for it.



"I don't even know the particular finger babe" I chuckled uneasily.



"It's this one" she laughed raising her middle finger up. I hurriedly slipped on the ring and we hugged.




Someone that wants to get engaged say yeah yeah grin
